Description
For a first home, a city base or a smaller-ticket investment, a well-planned studio can be a sensible starting point. Longines Bay is a mixed-use development on Karbanet Road, off Ngong Road, bringing residential apartments, retail space and leisure facilities together in one address.
The studios are the most accessible entry point in the development, starting from KES 3.7 million. Residents will have access to a swimming pool, rooftop padel court, co-working space and landscaped courtyard, so a compact home can still come with room to relax, work and meet people.
This page covers what has been confirmed and what to verify before you reserve.

A Development Designed for Compact, Connected Urban Living
Longines Bay is planned as a place to live, work and unwind without leaving the compound. The mix of amenities, from a co-working space to a rooftop sports centre, suits people who want their home to work harder than its square metres.
For young professionals, remote workers and people who spend much of the week out and about, that setup can make a studio feel more generous than its floor area suggests.

Three studio configurations are available:
- 39 sqm studio: KES 3.7M–4.5M

- 48 sqm studio: KES 5.3M–5.8M
Prices are given as ranges and may vary by floor, position and availability. Please request the latest price list and floor plans to confirm exact layouts, and which units are currently available.

Location Advantage
Longines Bay sits on Karbanet Road, off Ngong Road. This gives residents access to the Ngong Road corridor and the residential, commercial and lifestyle destinations around it. Because the development is mixed-use, retail and services are planned on-site, which adds everyday convenience.
We haven’t listed specific landmarks or travel times here, as they should be verified by direct visit. We recommend driving the route at your usual commuting hours before deciding.
Payment Plan
The payment plan, deposit, instalment structure and any reservation terms are to be confirmed at point of enquiry. Please request the current payment schedule and price list from Block Real Estate. We also suggest having the sale agreement reviewed by your legal advisor, especially as this is an off-plan purchase with a 2029 completion.
Why It Works for Homeowners
- A lower entry point. Starting from KES 3.7M, studios are the most accessible way into the development.
- Facilities beyond the flat. A pool, co-working space and rooftop areas extend your living space.
- Low-maintenance living. A smaller footprint suits people who want a simple, lock-up-and-go home.
- Building infrastructure. Backup generator, borehole water, CCTV and high-speed lifts are planned as part of the development.
Why It Works for Investors
- A lower capital commitment. Studios offer a smaller entry price than larger units.
- A mixed-use setting. On-site retail and lifestyle amenities can add to a development’s appeal for tenants.
- Hotel-managed option. The development includes a dedicated hotel-managed investment block, with a proposed 5-year guaranteed rental income and a targeted ROI of about 11% for qualifying units. Which unit types qualify, and the terms that apply, are to be confirmed at point of enquiry. These are the developer’s proposed terms, subject to applicable agreements, and are not a guarantee by Block Real Estate. Please review the agreement carefully with your legal advisor.
For other units, rental levels, occupancy and resale outcomes depend on the market at the time. With completion expected in 2029, an off-plan purchase also involves a waiting period. We can share comparable data to help you assess fit.
Finishes and Specifications
Detailed finishes for the studios haven’t been provided. Please request the specification schedule, covering flooring, kitchen and bathroom fittings, joinery, and any included appliances or furnishings. Confirmed to be confirmed at point of enquiry.
Who This Development Suits Best
- First-time buyers looking for an accessible entry into Nairobi property
- Young professionals and remote workers who value shared work and leisure space
- Investors seeking a smaller-ticket unit and comfortable with an off-plan timeline
- Buyers wanting a pied-à-terre or city base
It may be less suited to buyers needing immediate occupation, or households needing more space.
